E.T. still charms -- 30 years later

I’m not going to lie, ‘E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial’ is one of my all-time favorite movies.

And, despite my love of all things science fiction, it’s not because it’s an alien movie.

At its heart, ‘E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial’ is not the story of a lost alien trying to get home. ‘E.T.’ is the story of a lonely little boy struggling with his parents’ divorce. He just happens to find an alien in his backyard while he’s doing it.
